Rapid Game Prototyping with PreviewLabs

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. After prepping our production and doing a lot of concept sketches and first schematic drafts of the game mechanics, we ‘ve decided to partner with PreviewLabs to create a rapid game prototype for the rowing physics of the game.

This way we were able to learn about the succes and pitfalls of the rowing mechanics and how it would work under different circumstances.

Check out the video to see how we were able to test one paddle, two paddle controls and different variations of interactions in a sandbox environment. And how pushing walls and boat drifting increase the realism of a travelling experience on water.
